To OUR READERs.-We cannot too
strongly urge uponsour readers the ne
cessity of subscribing for family
weekly newspaper of the first class
such, for instance, as THE INDEPEN-
DENT, of New York Were we obliged
to select one publication for habitual
and careful reading to the exclusion of
all others, we should choose unhesitat-
ingly THE INDEPENDENT. 1t is a
newspaper, magazine and review, all in
one. 1t is a religious, a literary, an ed
ucational, story, an art, a scientific,
an agricultural, a financial, and polit-
ical paper combined. It has 80 folio
pages and q departments. No matter
what a PERSONS religion, politics or pro
fession may be, no matter what the age,
sex, employment or condition may be,
THE INDEPENDENT will prove help,
an instructor, an educator. Our read
ers can do no less than to send postal
for free specimen copy, or for thirty
cents the paper will be sent month,
enabling one to judge of its merits more
critically. It's yearly subscription is
$500, or two years for $500.
Those who desire to subscribe for
The american Agriculturist as well as
THE INDEPENDENT cannot make a
better bargain than by accepting The
INDEPENDENTLY offer to send both pa
pers for one year for the sum of 1915.
Each subscriber will thus save seventy
five cents on the two papers.

WHAT TO WEAR.-What are the new
fall and winter styles is what interests
every lady and when she wants to buy a
new dress or wrap she wants the latest
and newest thing out. We have made
this study and have taken great pains
in selecting nothing but the newest and
best styles OF dress goods and trimming.
We mention first in plain dress goods,
the all wool Henriettas. These are
very soft smooth finish with rich lustre
shades. Heliotrope, navy, myrtle, and
new brown. Next is French serge in
plain colors, new brown, Terra-cotta,
Myrtle, Bronze, Heliotrooe, Navy. An
other very desirable style is the plated
mixtures for all colors for street wear.
Plain and mixed Tricots of course will
still be worn. In trimmings we shave
every thing in braid and bead sets for
waist and Jannel, Furs, Stripes and
plain Velvets and Plush, Braids of all
styles. In fact we have so MANY differ
ent kinds of trimmings that it is impos-
sible to mention them all. We have the
largest stock ever brought to Martins
burg and then we show them in broad
daylight as our dress goods counter is
Immediately under the sky light. Don It
forget we've moved one door north of
Market House.
